What brush or product do you use...

What brush or product do you use to get into the nooks and crannies of the engine bay and door jams that your hand can't get into? I am looking at some of the Daytona Speed brushes, but wonder if there is a better product.

The smaller Daytona brush is nice for the areas in question. I also use the Race Glaze brushes for many applications. Paint brushes make nice detailing tools as well.

I use diluted Purple Power and the pressure washer on the jambs and engine compartment. They come perfectly clean.

paint brush, tips cut in 1/2 with a good APC.

Here are the areas I am talking about. The engine bay pic is hard to see, but it is behind the fender in a area my hand just doesn't get. The door jam is into the fender also and hard to get into.

DO NOT, I REPEAT, DO NOT buy a Daytona Speed Master Brush. Get a Wheel Woolie. Unless you like brake dust, grease, and chemicals sprayed all over your face.

Disagree. I'll take the Daytona brush over Wheel Woolies any day. I use WW for wheels wells and running boards, but the DB flexes to get behind anything in any position (assuming both size brushes). I have the "bent" Wheel Woolie as well. It's still not as good as DBs for getting in everywhere. I dunno about getting it splashed on you. That may be true, but I'm not headed to the dance after detailing.

The areas the OP pictured above, I would clean with the big Wheel Woolie paint brush.

I would use a paint brush style and the smaller Wheel Woolies in the door jambs, and the small/large Daytona in the engine bay. Both the Wheel Woolie Set and Daytona's are an awesome combination to have in your arsenal. Along with some good Boars Hair brushes, that should take care of any situation. The Daytona set is nice because you can bend them any way you need them...I leave my large one slightly bent, so I don't weaken the shaft and break it. They won't splatter at all if you use a bucket of warm soapy water to do your wheels.

If you can find the ammo brush thread, I use one of those. Glue brush if you just want to google it for a pic. In tiny areas I use q tips.

I've found these Pastry Brushes are extremely useful in detailing and at $3 each you can have a few for different tasks. The bristles are very soft natural material which works great on painted surfaces without inducing marring, but for a little more bite you can trim them shorter. Note the red band around the bristles--it is plastic so doesn't rust and less chance of it creating marring.
